| First Year Medical Students / 7 Feb 2003 |
| First-year students at Med. School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery TABLE with the body covered with a white sheet. The professor started the class by telling them, "In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor: The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body." |
|
| For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it, and stuck it in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it. |
|
| When everyone finished, the Professor looked at them and told them, "The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger. |
| Now learn to pay attention." |

| A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: |
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE." |
|
| They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: |
"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE." |
|
| The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?" |
| The other friend replied, "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it." |
|
LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE. |
| They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. |

| Why lawyers should never ask a witness a question if they aren't prepared for the answer |
| In a trial, a southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand - a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her
and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" |
|
| She responded, "why, yes I do know you, Mr.Williams." |
| "I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." |
|
| The lawyer was stunned. |
| Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"
| |
| She again replied, "why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too." |
| "He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him."
| |
| The defense attorney almost died!
| | At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both counselors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said, "if either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt." |

When A Man Lies 9/15/2003
|
| One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river.
| | When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?" |
| The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.
| | The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.
| | "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
| | The woodcutter replied, "No."
| | The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe.
| | "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
| |
| Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."
| | The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe.
| | "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.
| | The woodcutter replied, "Yes."
| | The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy. |
|
| Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river.
| | When he cried out, the Lord again appeared.
| | The Lord asked him, "Why are you crying?"
| | "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"
|
|
| The Lord went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez.
| | "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked.
| | "Yes," cried the woodcutter.
| | The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"
| | The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Jennifer Lopez, You would have come up with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Then if I also said 'no' to her, You would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given all three to me. Lord, I am a poor man, and I am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to Jennifer Lopez."
|
|
| The moral of this story is: whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.

Speeding Ticket 8/17/2003
|
| A middle aged man bought a brand new Mercedes convertibleSL500. He took off down the road, pushed it up to 130 kmph, and was enjoying the wind blowing through his (thinning) hair.
| | "This is great," he thought and accelerated to an even higher speed.
| | But then he looked in his rear-view mirror, and there was a Police Car behind him, blue lights flashing.
|
|
| "I can get away from him with no problem" thought the man and he floored it some more, and flew down the road at over 210 kmph to escape being stopped.
| | Then he thought, "What the hell am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing" and pulled over to the side of the road, and waited for the Police car to catch up with him."
|
|
| The Policeman pulled in behind the Mercedes and walked up on the driver's side.
| | "Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in a few minutes and today is Friday the 13th."
| | "If you can give me a good reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go."
|
|
| "The man looked back at the Policeman and said, "Last week my wife ran off with a Policeman, and I thought you were bringing her back."
| The Policeman said, "Have a nice day."

| Last month, a worldwide survey was conducted by the UN.
| | The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortages in the rest of the world"
|
| The survey was a HUGE failure...
|
| In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
|
| In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
|
| In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
|
| In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
|
|
| In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
|
| In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.

| Navajo Message 1/17//2003 |
| When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, they did some astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation in Arizona.
| | One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew.
| | The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question which his son translated: "What are these guys in the big suits doing?"
|
|
| A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the Moon.
| | The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message to the Moon with the astronauts.
|
|
| Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA folks found a tape recorder.
| | After the old man recorded his message, they asked the son to translate it. He refused.
| | So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the Elder's message to the Moon. |
|
| Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government translator.
| | He reported that the Moon message said: "Watch out for these assholes, they have come to steal your land." |

| A little bird was flying south for the winter.
| | It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.
| | While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.
| | As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.
|
|
| The dung was actually thawing him out!
| | He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
| | A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
| | Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

| | The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.
|
|
| The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
| | Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

| Don't Argue With Children 10/10/2002
|
| 1) A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
| | The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
| | The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
|
|
| Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
| | The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
| | The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
| | The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
|
|
| 2) A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew.
| | She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
| | As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was?
|
|
| The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
| | The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
| | Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."
| continue... |
|
| 3) A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
| | After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother," she asked, "is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
| | Without hesitating, one little boy (the oldest in his family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."
|
|
| 4) One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink.
| | She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
| | She looked at her mother and asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
|
|
| Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
| | The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"
| continue... |
|
| 5) The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
| | "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael. He's a doctor.
| | A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher. She's dead."
|
|
| 6) A teacher was giving a lesson on blood circulation.
| | Trying to make the matter clear, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
| | "Yes," the class said.
| | "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
|
|
| A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."

| This isn't a joke, just something I thought you would like to know.
| | When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness.
| | Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
| | Each day has a different color twist tie. They are:
|
|
| Monday - Blue;
| | Tuesday - Green;
| | Thursday - Red;
| | Friday - White;
| | Saturday - Yellow;
|
|
| So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie - not white--which is Friday's (almost a week old)!
| | The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White -Yellow, Monday thru Saturday.
| | Very easy to remember.
| | I thought this was interesting.
|
|
| I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers do have different colored twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors.

| Age is a wonderful thing 9/6/2002
|
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids?
| If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
| "How old are you?"
| "I'm four and a half!"
| You're never thirty-six and a half.
| | You're four and a half, going on five!
| | That's the key.
| You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back.
| | You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
| "How old are you?"
| "I'm gonna be 16!"
| You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16!
| And then the greatest day of your life . . .
|
|
| You become 21.
| | Even the words sound like a ceremony . . .
| YOU BECOME 21. . YESSSS!!!
| But then you turn 30.
| | Oooohh, what happened there?
| | Makes you sound like bad milk.
| | He TURNED, we had to throw him out.
| | There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling.
| What's wrong?
| | What's changed?
| You BECOME 21,
| | you TURN 30,
| | then you're PUSHING 40.
| | Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away.
| Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . and your dreams are gone.
|
|
But wait!!!
| | You MAKE it to 60.
| | You didn't think you would!
| So you BECOME 21,
| | TURN 30,
| | PUSH 40,
| | REACH 50 and
| | MAKE it to 60.
| | You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!
| After that it's a day-by-day thing;
| | you HIT Wednesday!
| | You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle;
| | you HIT lunch;
| | you TURN 4:30;
| | you REACH bedtime.
| And it doesn't end there.
| | Into the 90s, you start going backwards;
| "I was JUST 92."
| Then a strange thing happens.
| | If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again.
| "I'm 100 and a half!"
| May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!
| next... |
|
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
| 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
| 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
| 4. Enjoy the simple things.
| 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
| 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
|
|
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
| 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unsTABLE, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
| 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
| 10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
| AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. (Embedded image moved to file: pic15724.pcx)

| A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about 2" diameter.
| | He then asked the students if the jar was full?
| | They agreed that it was.
| | So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them in to the jar.
| | He shook the jar lightly.
| | The pebbles, of course, holed into the open areas between the rocks. The students laughed.
| | He asked his students again if the jar was full?
| | They agreed that yes, it was.
| | The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
| | Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
|
|
| "Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life."
| | "The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children - anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed."
| | "The pebbles are the other things in life that matter, but on a smaller scale."
| | "The pebbles represent things like your job, your house, your car."
| | "The sand is everything else. The small stuff."
| | "If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks."
| | "The same goes for your life."
| | "If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, material things, you will never have room for the things that are truly most important."
|
|
| "Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. "
| | "There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal."
| | "Take care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand 2nd."
| | * Good Luck!! I hope it works.
